Hussain had been admitted to the same hospital’s intensive care unit back in February 2021 after contracting COVID-19. He tested positive twice that year but recovered both times.
Sources revealed that he was brought in recently when a foot injury failed to heal properly. “He’s a sugar patient. While he was dealing with this, he started feeling a lot of pressure on his heart, and his colleagues rushed him to the hospital. He is now stable,” the source said.
